Red and gold harlequin nails: R is for Ruby Pumps

For letter R this week in the A to Z series challenge I chose Ruby Pumps from China Glaze. I don’t seem to have worn red on my nails in such a long time and I was yearning for it. Initially, I fished out a plain red China Glaze from my helmer, but sitting next to it was Ruby Pumps; my decision was made and my R manicure was born.

I painted two coats and wore it plain for a day before adding a harlequin-patterned stamp from CICI & SISI plate 03. I stamped using Barry M Foil Effects Gold. It stamped wonderfully apart from two or three air bubbles, which I filled in with my smallest dotting tool.

About me

I'm Claire Kerr and I'm a UK nails blogger. I've only been addicted to nail polish since 2012. Some kind of mid-life crisis turned me from a tomboy into a girly girl!

I had been posting pics of my manicures to Facebook, really as a way of documenting them for myself, but I was filling up my timeline with the photos and most of my friends weren't interested. So I started this blog instead!
